A thrilling mystery mixed with a dash of horror? At first, I wasn’t sure, but my opinion quickly changed to, “Yes, please!” This is a novel by Mo Hayder, after all, who, true to form, delivers a brutal tale that pushes the boundaries – it even made me look away from the pages in disgust once, which is no small feat!
I stayed up late several nights reading this book at supersonic speed, and the ending did not disappoint! Read closely, and you’ll even catch a pinch of the supernatural at the very end. Considering that one of the plot points of the book was to debunk the paranormal, this little inclusion, all too easily missed if you’re not paying close attention, makes the piece even better. Although this is a stand alone story, fans of Hayder’s Jack Caffery will probably love this one as well. 5 stars!
